0:00.0	And the Hello welcome to another episode of Purple Inside, Matt D'Connor here.
0:23.8	And joining me on the show from Vikings.com,
0:27.1	Lindsay, you dropped an incredible story today
0:31.7	about Matt Osiata on Vikings.com and I have to say there are a few
0:36.7	stories that sort of stop you in your tracks but this one definitely did so I want to break that down with you. Also you wrote about your
0:45.2	relationship with Bud Grant, which was a really special relationship. You created a lot of content with
0:50.7	Bud over the year, so I want to get into those things but first how are you
0:55.5	enjoying your off season it's already been pretty eventful for the Vikings?
0:59.6	Yeah it has Craig Peters and I were just talking about like I can't believe that it's we're almost into April already like there's definitely I mean you and I were just talking kind of offline about how there's kind of some like dips and lulls and action but like this

1:59.6	And so just always looking for stuff to do.
2:03.0	Yeah, and we'll dive into that in just a second,
2:05.0	but I was going to say that how old should we feel that when I got to Minnesota in 2016,
2:11.0	Adam Theland had not broken out yet as a good wide receiver in the
2:14.8	NFL and Eric Hendricks was a second year linebacker that people were talking about
2:18.9	like maybe this is a year he takes the next step after you know a good rookie season in 2015 and now they're old and too expensive to keep around and they leave and are like wait how long have we been doing this for that we saw their whole career
